I got a really good start. Since I am switching rooms to benefit my daughter, I am making her help. We started with everything that was already organized and packed in containers. Piece by piece things made their way out of the room and into the dining room and living room.
As we were moving things, I started to notice or should I say "find" items in my room that I haven't used in YEARS!
Yes, YEARS!
The first was a set of plastic drawers that were full of miscellaneous chipboard and plastic alphabets. All different fonts, sizes and colors. I organized them when I first did my room 4 years ago and honestly have probably only gone to it 2 or 3 times.
Then I found a storage tub of half used (mostly gone) thickers. There were at least 50 sheets of stickers. My first thought for these was a preschool, good thing my sisters works at one!2 flat rate boxes later...
I felt a huge sense of relief.
I was proud of myself for actually boxing stuff up without going through every piece talking myself into keeping it.
The next day... more moving!
Suddenly my sense of accomplishment was replaced with disgust.
My clean dining room and living room was very quickly a rip-tearin' mess! I went from one messy space to 3! I could not believe it.
MOM to the rescue!!
My mom, the queen of rearranging, stopped in to help me. Before I knew it, everything was out of the scraproom and situated very neatly in the dining room. There is not an empty wall and the chairs are not accessible at all. Can you believe ALL of this stuff was in my room? We even ended up with a bookshelf in my hallway.
It's all out. Well.....mostly all out. I need to empty the closet, but ran out of boxes. Daughter dear asked to keep the white shelves so some of them will stay up. I was surprised how big this room actually is. Now I have to finish the closet and get her stuff in.
Here's to change and working through a task!
Now, I am itching to get my scrap room back together.
